I find fossilized plants and trees absolutely fascinating, it's an open window in pre-history...makes you feel so small!

ReplyDeleteWow, 20 million years is incomprehendisable. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteTree fossils are impressive. There are some spectacular ones near us, there's a national park dedicated to them.
ReplyDeleteis there a hole for children to hide. 20 million years is beyond comprehension.
ReplyDelete. . and a great fossil it is, of a remarkable size as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this.
Wow must be a very huge tree.
ReplyDeletethe tree looks intriguing. great find and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFascinating. We have a "forest" of fossilized trees in the western part of the U.S. I remember visiting The Petrified Forest as a child and buying a small piece for a souvenir...don't know what happened to it, though.
ReplyDeleteAmazing to ponder how really old this tree is! thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThis is a grand tree fossil, unlike the ones i seen in Ooty and childrens park here. I have been to lal bagh, but i miss checking this.
ReplyDeleteOh it must have been a very huge tree. I prefer that this is displayed inside a covered area or a museum, so the elements and rain will not erode it slowly, that it can still last for longer time!
ReplyDeleteAn amazing sight!
ReplyDeleteimpressive structure, and natural.

ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Always thought it was cool how things like trees and sea shells can polymorph into stone.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, imagine what the world was like when it was young. Like what you did with the sign.
ReplyDeletethat is really amazing
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge piece of petrified wood. We saw many smaller pieces of petrified wood in our Petrified Forest National Park this past June.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for appreciating age old fossil of the tree.
